Surge Protection: The Enemy Within - haphazard use of common all-mode protectors at AC outlets or outlet strips in many cases causes either system noise problems or hardware damage
Vehicles Are An Electronics Nightmare - EMI spraying and RFI sparking is everywhere, and electrical transients run amuck, zapping the embedded electronics
Data line isolation theory - when it comes time to protect data lines from electrical transients, surge suppression i often the first thing that leaps to mind but sometimes data line isolation is more effective solution
Dataline surge protection: stop fried boards and garbled data - surges and spikes on datalines can fry your communications boards and garble data, this article describes the operation, installation and selection of what is probably the most common method of data line protection
Simple ESD gun tests IC - you can use this simple ESD-test gun to test the effects of ESD through sensitive ICs, based in piezo-electric type kitchen gas lighter
